Just picked up a pair of aftermarket grips (Altamont in Super Rosewood). Pics below - my Colt Commander in factory rubber, rosewood double diamond and then "super rosewood" serpentine.
What do you all think about dressed up grips? And which set do you guys like best?
Any opinions on Altamont? I had liked the idea of the serpentine grips until I tried them out a bit - a bit thicker, and IMHO the design is backward (I felt like the pattern should be on the front side of the grip, slick side on back - so your hand slides faster onto the grip, and your fingers benefit from the traction on the front side of the grip). Also, found out after they arrived that Altamont's "super rosewood" is actually a laminate. My double diamonds are real rosewood.
